Came across these the other day. In about 92/93 I used to make very very very basic maps on a photocopier for local trails. Only have some prototypes left. Also walked all the bridal ways in the area and talked with the Forestry commission / farmers about signage, cycling on there land etc. They used to just have a pic of a bike ! So they (allegedly) stole our ' traffic light system for a while, with posts with red,amber,green arrow markers (but think they used blue not green). I forgive them

Please don't forget some of the early pioneers who wrote early guide books and people that help build the early trails. And all the unlikely looking riders young and some quite old who blazed their own way where no one had ridden before, I knew of many unsung heroes who never got any credit for helping open access to bikes. And how history has been altered to make certain modern custodians look they started it all themselves !

how about getting these scanned, printed and available for sale with the funds heading to Aspie?

And thank you to everyone who has posted their thoughts in this thread, I think it would of amused Nige.

I think he would like the idea of a ride in his honour, but rather than limit it to just the cycle riders I think it would be good it it could be opened up a little. Nige was a family man and his son is too young to join in on a ride so how about a day out?

Cycling for those that want, a motorbike ride for anyone so inclined and a family picnic? Everyone welcome, participate in any part of it you wish.

I think this year is getting too dark and cold now, so a late spring meet up?

Ideally in Wales somewhere near Dolgellau or Machynlleth, places close to his heart.

Very saddened to hear this, I've not been around these parts much of late but saw Johns post on FB. Greenstiles was one of the forum members I had a lot of time for. I didn't always agree with the content of his posts but I couldn't fail to always agree with his passion. One of the good guys around here, best wishes to family and friends.
